Sensory Awareness Training with North East Sensory Services (NESS)
There are still some spaces available for Sensory Awareness Training on
Wednesday 11 th May 2016 at North East Sensory Services (NESS), 21 John
Street, Aberdeen AB25 1BT.
NESS’s Sensory Awareness Training aims to raise awareness of the needs of
people living with a sensory loss. This includes people who are blind, visually
impaired, Deaf or hard of hearing.
During the training you will identify ways of communicating better with someone with
a hearing loss, how to guide someone with a visual impairment, as well as some of
the gadgets and technology that people use to make day to day life easier. By the
end of the day you will have a better understanding of some of difficulties
experienced day to day by someone who has a sensory loss, and what helps
someone with a sensory loss to remain as independent as possible.
